+Many GNU/Linux systems do not come with development packages by
+default; they just include the files that you need to run Emacs, but
+not those you need to compile it. For example, to compile Emacs with
+X11 support, you may need to install the special `X11 development'
+package.
The general idea is good, but I think that "X11 development package"
is too vague. It would be good to list the names it has in Debian and
Red Hat. And likewise for a couple of other specific packages one
may need.
